Chapter 138

All the noises attracted the other guests, and they began to walk closer to the three of them.

Tyler, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found, which gave Maria the boost of courage she wanted.

"Miss Shaw, is this necessary? Miss Mayland is only here to perform for Tyler. Everyone knows that he

likes listening to piano music. It's bad enough that you don't know how to play it. Isn't it too much to

forbid others from playing for him?" she spoke, raising her voice.

Vicky stood in the middle of the crowd calmly. "Miss Sparks, you've just gotten here, so why are you so

sure that this is my fault? Have you stopped being an actress and switched professions to become a

director or something?’

Maria stilled and glared at her. "I wasn't far away when I saw you approaching Miss Mayland and

pushing her toward the wine glass tower to prevent her from performing," said Maria as she turned to

look at a certain spot. ’Those people saw you as well. They're all witnesses!"

Vicky had never laid eyes on the witnesses Maria referred to and realized that Maria had come

prepared. Those people whom she claimed to be witnesses must have been bribed to agree to

whatever she said ahead of time.

Vicky did not panic and smiled. "It's not that I don’t want to believe you, Miss Sparks. You once tried to

frame me for stealing your bracelet in front of everyone the time before, remember? Are you getting a

kick out of this for you to keep coming back for more?’ 1

Rendered speechless, Maria snarled, "Why you—!"

A lot of the people in the hall knew about the previous incident of how

Maria ended up humiliated for trying to accuse Vicky of a crime she did not commit.

Just then, Nikki, who looked as pale as a ghost, said weakly, "Miss Shaw, I've tried to explain to you

multiple times now. Mister Hart only enjoys listening to me playing piano, and that's why he keeps

coming to the bar. There is...nothing between us, and we haven't even spoken to each other that often.

He only saved me from trouble out of the kindness of his heart.

"I've already resigned after you came to talk to me. I didn't want to come today because I'm about to

leave this city, but since it's Mister Hart's birthday and I owe him for helping me the time before, I didn't

know how else to repay him... If he likes listening to the piano so much, I thought I could play one last

time for him and stay out of your sight afterward."

Her voice was gentle and frail, giving her an innocent appearance when paired with the pale look on

her face.

People tended to sympathize with the weak, and since Vicky did not have a good reputation to begin

with, the others started to look at Vicky with contempt, even though they did not dare to condemn her

out loud.

It seemed foolish to act out on jealousy at such an occasion, and what Vicky did fit her persona of the

lady of a fallen family who was capable of nothing even with Tyler's help.

"Miss Shaw, it's been so many years and you still haven't grown out of your ways... You seduced Tyler

and tore him away from Sheila years ago, and as if that wasn't enough, you destroyed Sheila’s hands

out of fear that Tyler would still care for her.

"Miss Mayland is just an ordinary civilian who makes a living off playing piano. You've already cost her

her job over nothing but rumors, and now...’ She paused as she looked at Vicky. "Miss Shaw, we all

know that you love Tyler and get jealous easily, but...you have to know your boundaries at some point."
